The Danube Cycleway Volume 1: Eurovelo 6 - From the Source in the Black Forest to Budapest - Paperback

by Mike Wells (Author)

A guidebook to cycling the 1261km of the Danube Cycleway from Budapest, Hungary, through the former Yugoslav states of Croatia and Serbia, and on into Romania. The route, which is mainly level cycling, is well within the capabilities of most cycle tourists. It can be comfortably completed in three to four weeks.

The route is described in 29 stages (ranging from 24-66km, averaging less than 44km/stage), and passes through Germany, Austria and Hungary. It utilises EuroVelo route 6 (EV6) and (mostly) follows well-surfaced cycle tracks, often along the riverbank or flood dykes.

• 1:150,000 mapping included for each stage
• GPX files available to download
• Refreshment and accommodation information given for each stage
• Advice on planning and preparation
• Volume 2 of a two-volume series of the full Danube Cycleway route
